The following provides common troubleshooting steps to resolve potential issues when using MixWave plugins in FL Studio.

Plugin Not Showing in FL Studio

If you have installed your MixWave plugin but it is not appearing in FL Studio, follow these steps to resolve the issue.

Verify Installation Path

Ensure that the plugin file (.vst3) is installed in the correct directory:

• Mac: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

If the plugin is installed elsewhere, move it to the correct location and restart FL Studio. 

Plugin Rescan

If the plugin still does not appear, follow these additional steps:

1. Open FL Studio Plugin Manager

2. Confirm Plugin Paths: On the left side of the Plugin Manager, make sure the VST3 folder is listed under Plugin Search Paths.

3. Enable Full Rescan: Under Scan Options, check both:

   • Rescan previously verified plugins

   • Rescan plugins with errors

4. Perform a Full Rescan: Click Find Installed Plugins to scan all plugins again.

5. If the plugin requires iLok activation, a login window will appear. Sign in and complete the activation.
